At $ork, it's 8745. I only run into problems when a new switchboard
operator signs on and hasn't met Helen. Then I get the calls from some
"IT Services" or "Toner Sales" asshat.

I had one gig where management did such a good job of inventing a credible

Mr Waite for this purpose that HMRC eventually contacted them to ask why
he hadn't been paying any income tax.
At another gig, we had a Dave Null who was the head of recruitment for
when pimps called. He was extremely busy, so had his own on-hold queue
which played Moody Blues' /Go Now/ on loop. The CDRs showed that there was
one dimwit that listened to it twice before finally taking the hint.

"Dave Null" is a good one. Stolen. "Helen Waite" has been suspected by
assclown callers - as evidenced by a hilarious transcript the call-
center guys sent me with a caller who knew he'd been had.

At place_of_employment[current-2], we had a game. It wasn't a nice game.
We had an ordered list of everyone playing, with each person's
extension.
When you got a call for printer wax or light bulb cleanser or some inane
thing, you would string the caller along a little bit, then tell them
"oh, Bob handles the modem floss purchasing" (where Bob is the next name
on the player list under yours). If you're the last name on the list,
wrap around to the top.
Score one point for each successful transfer you complete. Lose one
point if the caller hangs up on you or goes to your voicemail. Get ten
points if they swear at you. Point values double for each complete trip
through the list.
